Total knee replacement system with a ceramic femoral component versus two traditional metallic designs: a prospective short-term study.

چکیده
PURPOSE To compare the short-term outcome of the Multigen Plus system using a symmetric ceramic femoral component with that of 2 metallic total knee replacement (TKR) systems. METHODS 60 patients (62 knees) with osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis underwent primary TKR using the Genia system (n=20), the Multigen Plus system (n=17), and the Multigen Plus system with a ceramic femoral component (n=25). Outcome was evaluated pre- and post-operatively (at 3, 12, and 24 months) using the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score, the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC) score, and the Short-Form 36 (SF-36) score. RESULTS The 3 groups did not differ significantly at all 4 time points in terms of the HSS score, WOMAC score, and SF-36 score. The range of motion was significantly less in patients treated with the Genia system. Postoperatively, the HSS and WOMAC scores improved significantly in all 3 groups, whereas the SF-36 score improved significantly (at 12 and 24 months) only in patients treated with the Multigen Plus system with a ceramic femoral component. The implant position in most patients was optimal. All radiolucent lines were within 1 mm and did not progress. CONCLUSION The short-term outcome of the 3 TKR systems was comparable. Ceramic femoral components performed comparably to traditional metallic designs.

Ceramic Femoral Components in Total Knee Arthroplasty - Two Year Follow-Up Results of an International Prospective Multi-Centre Study
BACKGROUND Total knee arthroplasty can be considered as a reliable surgical procedure with a good long-term clinical result. However, implant failure due to particle induced aseptic loosening as well as the aspect of hypersensitivity to metal ions still remains an emerging issue. METHODS The purpose of this prospective international multi-centre study was to evaluate the clinical and radiolog...

Background: Modern knee designs have popularized its use in younger patients due to its better performance. There remains uncertainty whether higher demands of these patients can affect implant survivorship. Purpose: To assess whether modern knee designs have provided similar results in patients younger than 70 years versus older patients. Methods: We included 203 consecutive patients (236 ...

INTRODUCTION: Due to increased life expectancy at human population the amount of osteoarthritis of the knee joint will increase. The total knee replacement (TKR) is often the only way to achieve analgesia, to establish the joint function and to correct joint deformation. TKR reached a high grade of quality and safety and has become an often used surgical procedure [1]. TKR most often fail due t...
